In a devastating incident, local sources in Panjshir province have reported the murder of a schoolteacher by a nomadic tribesman armed with a firearm.
According to reports obtained by Hasht-e Subh, this incident occurred unexpectedly on Friday, September 8th, in the Ab-Goman area of Parian district in Panjshir province.
The victim, identified as Dadullah, was not only a dedicated schoolteacher but also worked as a taxi driver alongside his teaching duties.
Sources have indicated that two nomadic individuals, apparently hiring Dadullah’s vehicle, lured him into their company and subsequently ambushed him on the road.
However, local Taliban officials in Panjshir claim that this murder stemmed from prior hostilities and enmities.
Mawlana Nasrullah Malikzada, the head of the Taliban’s information and culture department in Panjshir, revealed that about 15 years ago, Dadullah’s uncle had killed a close associate of these two nomads in the same district.
Malikzada further added that one of the suspects in the murder has been detained by the Taliban, while another managed to escape.
It is worth noting that since the resurgence of the Taliban in Afghanistan, nomadic communities have occasionally engaged in retaliatory actions against the country’s citizens with the support of the group’s fighters.
